Multi-Purpose Whole Body Pillow
View on AmazonNicky Recommends: Whole body pillows offer benefits beyond pregnancy support, making them valuable for various sleepers. These pillows promote proper spinal alignment by supporting multiple body parts simultaneously, which can reduce pressure on joints and muscles, potentially alleviating back, hip, and knee pain. Additionally, they can improve sleep quality by encouraging a more stable sleeping position, reducing tossing and turning, and providing comfort for side sleepers or those recovering from injuries. Ever since i was pregnant I’ve kept sleeping with mine because it’s just so damned comfortable and gives me really good spinal support.

MyProtein Creapure Creatine
View on AmazonNicky Recommends: Useful if you’re doing high-intensity training and noticing fatigue, slower recovery, or reduced strength over time. Creatine supports how your body produces and recycles energy at a cellular level — particularly during short bursts of effort. I use this when I’m training consistently and want to support recovery and output, rather than pushing through fatigue. This one stands out for its purity and consistency, which matters when you’re using something regularly.

NothingFishy Algae Omega 3
View DirectNicky Recommends: Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that support heart health, brain function, and reduce inflammation throughout the body. It’s hard to get sufficient from dietary sources like fatty fish so supplements can help ensure adequate intake. I love taking this algae oil version as it is one of the most vital types of Omega-3.
I love this brand because the algae oil is extracted from purified pools of salt water allowing the preservation of the purity and also protecting our ocean ecosystems. That’s a win:win to me. There are also no nasty chemicals left behind such as heavy metals which are often found in fish oil.

Books
Roar
View on AmazonNicky Recommends: I found this to be a ground-breaking book that challenges traditional approaches to women’s fitness and nutrition. It emphasises that women are not simply “small men” when it comes to exercise physiology. The book provides women with comprehensive, science-based advice on how to tailor their training, nutrition, and lifestyle to their unique female physiology, covering topics such as menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause. I read it when I wanted to optimise my performance, health, and well-being as an active woman. It gave me invaluable insights into working with, rather than against my body’s natural rhythms and needs.

Spiky Massage Ball – 9cm
View on AmazonNicky Recommends: Spiky massage balls like this one are beneficial for almost all people due to their ability to provide targeted self-massage and myofascial release. These tools can help alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce physical pain by applying pressure to specific trigger points, making them especially useful for managing various types of muscular discomfort and promoting overall body relaxation. I like to make sure that the ball i use is hard, and has a 9cm diameter – I find those the most useful. And just roll it everywhere. I especially like it under your feet. It’s just magical.

Symprove Probiotic Liquid
View DirectNicky Recommends: Useful if you’re experiencing ongoing digestive issues, irregularity, or patterns that suggest your gut isn’t functioning as well as it could. This is a liquid probiotic, which means the bacteria are active when consumed — something that can make a difference for some people. I’ve used this during periods where gut-related symptoms were consistent, rather than as a permanent addition. As with all probiotics, the key is noticing how your body responds over time, rather than assuming more is better.
